Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 38 / Monday, February 26, 2024 / Notices
the Arrival and Departure Information
System (ADIS) maintained by CBP.
Nonimmigrants may utilize this
information as proof of departure,
which is most relevant in the land
border environment, but may be utilized
for departures via air and sea if desired.
As it pertains to the land
environment, there is no requirement
for nonimmigrants leaving the United
States to report their departure to CBP.
However, as described further below,
CBP encourages nonimmigrants to
report their departure to CBP when they
exit, so that CBP can record their exit
from the United States.
Although CBP routinely collects
biometric data from nonimmigrants
entering the United States, there
currently is no comprehensive system in
place to collect biometrics from
nonimmigrants departing the country.
Collecting biometrics at both arrival and
departure will thus enable CBP and
DHS to know with better accuracy
whether nonimmigrants are departing
the country when they are required to
depart. Further, collecting biometric
data will help to reduce visa or travel
document fraud and improve CBP’s
ability to identify criminals and known
or suspected terrorists. CBP has been
testing various options to collect
biometrics at departure in the land and
air environments since 2004.
At the same time, CBP is also now
working to fully automate all I–94
processes. Currently CBP issues
electronic I–94s to most nonimmigrants
entering the United States at land border
ports of entry.
Currently CBP does not routinely staff
exit lanes at land border ports of entry,
nor does CBP possess a single process
for nonimmigrants subject to I–94
requirements to voluntarily report their
departure. Nonimmigrants can currently
report their departure by any one of the
following means: (1) stopping at a land
border port of entry and presenting a
printed copy of their electronic I–94 to
a CBP officer; (2) stopping at a land
border port of entry and placing a
printed copy of their electronic I–94 in
a drop box provided by the port where
available; (3) if exiting by land on the
northern U.S. border, by turning in a
paper copy of their electronic I–94 to
the Canadian Border Services Agency
(CBSA) when entering Canada (CBSA
will then return the form to CBP); or (4)
mailing a copy of their electronic I–94
and other proof of departure to CBP.
The current options are burdensome
and, in many cases, impractical or
inconvenient due to the location and
design of the ports. They also lead to
haphazard record keeping and
inaccurate data collection with respect

to the nonimmigrants leaving the
country. Most land border ports of entry
provide limited access to the port for
vehicles exiting the United States and
have minimal parking available to the
public. For this reason, most
nonimmigrants do not report their
departure when exiting at land border
ports of entry. In those cases, CBP has
no way to confirm that a nonimmigrant
has exited the United States at the time
of departure. CBP often discovers that a
nonimmigrant has previously left the
United States at a later date, when that
same nonimmigrants attempts to reenter the United States. Having proof of
an exit via the CBP OneTM app would
provide nonimmigrants some
information for CBP officers to consider
in the event the officer is unsure
whether a nonimmigrant complied with
the I–94 requirements provided upon
their previous entry.
In additonal, CBP intends to update
the ESTA application website to require
applicants to provide a photograph of
their face, or ‘‘selfie’’, in addition to the
photo of the passport biographical page.
These photos would be used to better
ensure that the applicant is the rightful
possessor of the document being used to
obtain an ESTA authorization.
Currently, applicants are allowed to
have a third party apply for ESTA on
their behalf. While this update would
not remove that option, third parties,
such as travel agents or family members,
would be required to provide a
photograph of the ESTA applicant.
The ESTA Mobile application
currently requires applicants to take a
live photograph of their face, which is
compared to the passport photo
collected during the ESTA Mobile
application process. This change will
better align the application processes
and requirements of ESTA website and
ESTA Mobile applicants.
